Trooper Sharon Palmer wrote in an affidavit that Mr. Estrella and his girlfriend, Brittany Williams, argued around 5 a.m. and Mr. Estrella began to punch Ms. Williams in the stomach.

Ms. Williams had a surgical procedure done on her stomach about a month ago, state police said.

Susan Rios, Evan Munley and Paul Faux heard the disturbance and came downstairs to try to break it up.

Mr. Estrella went into the kitchen, grabbed a frying pan and hit Mr. Munley over the head with it, bruising and cutting the left side of his face.

Mr. Estrella said he would murder them all and pointed to Ms. Williams and said, "starting with you."

Ms. Rios said that was not going to happen and asked him to leave. Mr. Estrella took a knife from a kitchen drawer and lunged at Mr. Munley, but Mr. Faux and Mr. Munley wrestled the knife away and held him down.

Mr. Estrella screamed to be let up so he could kill them and burn the house down. Mr. Munley tried calming Mr. Estrella, but had to punch him in the face because he kept trying to fight.

They bound Mr. Estrella with tape and rope because he could not be controlled, police said.

He was sent to the Wayne County Correctional Facility in lieu of $50,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
